Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an underwater vehicle equipped with electrochemical means for generating electrical energy.
  • Such a machine is known from document xp 1238338.
  • Such a machine may for example be constituted by an underwater weapon such as a torpedo.
  • torpedoes are for example devoid of military load which can be replaced by other means, such as data acquisition means commonly called “exercise slice” generally.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to solve these problems.
  • the subject of the invention is an underwater vehicle equipped with electrochemical means for generating electrical energy, characterized in that it comprises an information processing unit connected in input to sensors of a parameter selected from the group comprising the temperature, the pressure and the concentration of hydrogen, water in the environment of the vehicle and the electrochemical means of this machine, and output to signal transmission means for transmitting signals.
  • authorization signals for approach or not of the craft, by an operator, according to whether the sensed value of the parameter of the electrochemical means is or is not in a predetermined parameter range around the value of the corresponding parameter of the water in the environment of the underwater vehicle.
  • FIG. 1 a block diagram of an approach authorization device integrated in an underwater vehicle equipped with electrochemical means for generating electrical energy.
  • such an underwater vehicle may be constituted by an exercise torpedo that should be recovered after a shot.
  • an approach authorization device is integrated into the underwater vehicle.
  • This device comprises an information processing unit connected in input to sensors of a parameter chosen from the group comprising the temperature, the pressure and the hydrogen concentration, the water in the environment of the machine and the electrochemical means of this machine, and at the output to means for transmitting signals for transmitting clearance signals for approaching the craft or not, by an operator, depending on whether the sensed value of the parameter of the electrochemical means is or not in a predetermined parameter range around the value of the corresponding parameter of the water in the environment of the underwater vehicle.
  • sensors of a parameter chosen from the group comprising the temperature, the pressure and the hydrogen concentration, the water in the environment of the machine and the electrochemical means of this machine and at the output to means for transmitting signals for transmitting clearance signals for approaching the craft or not, by an operator, depending on whether the sensed value of the parameter of the electrochemical means is or not in a predetermined parameter range around the value of the corresponding parameter of the water in the environment of the underwater vehicle.
  • FIG. 1 a block diagram of an exemplary embodiment of such an approach authorization device.
  • the sensors are temperature sensors.
  • pressure sensors and / or hydrogen concentration can also be envisaged.
  • This device is designated by the general reference 1 in this figure and then comprises an information processing unit designated by the general reference 2.
  • This is constituted for example by any appropriate computer or microcontroller or part of a computer already embedded in the machine.
  • This device comprises autonomous power supply means vis-à-vis the rest of the underwater vehicle, these power supply means being dedicated to this approach authorization device and comprising for example storage storage means.
  • energy such as a battery or a battery, designated by the general reference 3 or others.
  • the information processing unit is connected in input to water temperature sensors in the environment of the machine and electrochemical means of this machine, these sensors being designated by the general reference 4 on this figure 1 .
  • the information processing unit is connected at the output to means for transmitting authorization signals for approaching or not to the craft by an operator, designated by the general reference 5, for transmitting authorization signals. approach or not of the vehicle, by an operator, depending on whether or not the temperature of the electrochemical means is in a predetermined temperature range around the temperature of the water in the environment of this underwater vehicle.
  • these transmission means may for example be constituted by sound and / or visual and / or radio or other sound signal transmission means.
  • At least one electro-acoustic transducer may be envisaged to emit audible signals perceptible by an operator.
  • Luminous means can also be envisaged.
  • the information processing unit and the transmission means are then adapted to transmit signals of different natures such as for example continuous / discontinuous / repetition frequency signals. controlled, etc.
  • the information processing unit may be equipped with goodness-of-operation test means when it is launched in order to emit fault signals in the event of a malfunctioning of the approach authorization device and to warn the operators so that these implement the necessary precautions of approach.
  • this unit can be connected to other elements of the machine as designated by the general reference 6 on this figure 1 .
  • step 10 The beginning of the operation of the approach device is designated by step 10 in this figure.
  • This initialization step is followed by a goodness of operation test step at 12, during which test means check whether the approach authorization device is operational or not.
  • the information processing unit is adapted to trigger the transmission of signals indicating that the approach authorization device is out of service.
  • the information processing unit compares the temperature of the electrochemical means with the temperature of the water in the environment of the machine for emit clearance signals from the operator or not, by the operator, depending on whether or not the temperature of the electrochemical means is in a predetermined temperature range around the temperature of the water.
  • T-out and T-in are respectively the output and input temperatures of the electrochemical means.
  • the unit information processing is adapted to emit, at 16, signals prohibiting approach of the machine by the operators.
  • the information processing unit is adapted to transmit, at 17, approach authorization signals, making it possible to indicate to the operators that the approach of the gear does not present any particular risk at this level.
  • Such a structure then has a certain number of advantages insofar as it makes it possible to ensure the securing of the recovery, in particular of this type of machine by making it possible to indicate to the operators that the operations can be done without risk or, at contrary, that it is necessary to wait before proceeding with the recovery of the machine.
